TeX Live ISO Images

See the TeX Live home page for general information about TL.

This directory contains ISO images for the TL 2007 release. md5 and sha256 checksums for each image are provided.

Please download the live image from your nearest CTAN mirror.

For 2007, there are two images:

live (DVD)

can be run directly from the distribution media, or installed to hard disk. This is the one recommended for general use.

inst (CD)

includes all the same programs and packages, but for only three architectures (i386-linux, powerpc-darwin, win32), so it fits on a standard CD. Also, the data is compressed, so it can only be installed, not run live. The only reason to use this is to burn a physical CD. (The inst image is not currently available on tug.org due to bandwidth issues. We are working on making it available elsewhere.)

The images here contain only TeX Live 2007. The TeX Collection DVD distributed by the TeX user groups contains much additional material. Please consider joining a user group to support TeX.

Bug reports are welcome (start with the top-level README if you need information, and send problems to tex-live@tug.org), but please first check the list of known bugs and updates and the tex-live mail archives.

There is no guaranteed support of the contents of this directory.
